About Books, November 21, 2009

Debra Spark bases her novel, "Good for the Jews," on the biblical story of Esther. The story revolves around Ellen, young and involved with the school superintendent; Mose her older cousin and a teacher, and the new high school principal. The issues faced are anti-semitism, work place harassment, ageism and relationships. All of this occurs in Madison, Wisconsin. Author Spark says she was interested in exploring the idea of victims becoming victimized.
